Assess the Age of Majority Using Lower Wisdom Teeth

This article is signed by 27 authors from four continents led by Roberto Cameriere one of the most cited authors in the field of dental age assessment. Determining dental age is a very important segment in the forensic sciences because it gives the best results for an individual's age. This is especially important on found dead bodies, human remains, but also on living people because by determining the dental age one can estimate the age of majority after 18 years of age. A large number of refugees who cross borders in search of asylum usually come without documents and passports. It is therefore difficult to determine the age of the majority of asylum seekers. The teeth are an important organ for determining dental age both in young people and in adults and the elderly. This paper describes a method of determining the dental age on the left and right lower wisdom teeth of a total of 10,181 orthopantomograms from Europe, Africa, Asia and America.
